241. The positioning of the ETS sensors/

antennae will not be allowed on any landing

boards or other external surfaces in such a

way that when the loft is closed no electronic

chip ring may be recorded by the Electronic

Timing System installed. Club Officials may

make random checks at any time.

Is it true that when the ets pads are positioned they are then sealed so the can't be moved????

[paddymac]

I know there were talk about this at the beginning and introduction of ETS systems but don't think it was ever followed up. In the continent they have their ETS pads placed outside lofts.

Yes that's wots ment to happen but if your loft is on an allotment you take the chance of lossing it that's why it gets took home & nobody is going to check it every week it's getting out of hand

If you enforce by ruling Pads MUST be sealed in you (the ruling body)would need to carry insurance if it got nicked or face the challenge

 

ETS owners are being victimised by these enforced rules

 

If I own an STB or other manual clock I do not have to have a captive bird to clock and no questions are asked, which has been the normal practice for my 40+yrs in the sport

anyway i will get some pics of my loft up in the morning just went check on them as the young cock bin getting picked on was dead was fine few hours ago

Think it would be a benefit to all if the ets rule stated that the ets system should be attached to the loft wether inside or out then we are all playing to the same rules with the same benefits then there's no doubts.imo ps ours are on the floors of the lofts will stick a pic up on Sunday.

might be little better

The measurements are taken at the front of the loft, so if the pigeon lands on the front of the loft it has flown the distance of the race so how it is timed shouldn't matter. Jmo

Walter I wasn't having a go at the member with the conventional clock I sympathise with them as the ets has a distinct advantage, but hopefully in the near future everyone will have ets, as regards the positioning of the eats traps we could argue for ever about this but at the end of the day a lawyer would argue the velocity is calculated as time into distance so when the pigeon lands on the loft it has flown the distance.

i was thinking of cutting tow trap doors holes level with the shelf/landing board and making 2 traps that will attach to the inside of loft and having a pulley sliding hatch sort of things all so will be making a frame with mesh round that i can place on the shelf on the front of the right or left trapdoor for training young and for letting stock birds out in
